Spurs legend describes the 22-year-old Celtic star as the “best player” in Scotland, saying that

Regarding Matt O’Riley and his performances for Celtic, Neil Lennon has been poetic.

Like many other Celtic moves, Matt O’Riley was a little-known player when he joined from MK Dons in 2022. Since then, he has developed into a vital member of Ange Postecoglou’s and Brendan Rodgers’ teams.

Before moving to Scotland, Neil Lennon acknowledged that he had never heard of the quick-witted playmaker, but he now believes he is “the best player in the country,” as he told PLZ Soccer.

Undoubtedly, Matt O’Riley has improved his performance significantly this season following his recent Triple Crown victory.

He has six goals and four assists in 14 appearances across all competitions this season (transfermarkt), and he may now be the first name on Celtic’s roster.

All of this is a result of Matt O’Riley’s summer effort, as Callum McGregor revealed that he returned from preseason looking like a different animal.

But it’s not just his Celtic skipper who O’Riley is impressing, with Nell Lennon also loving what he is seeing from the playmaker.

Matt O’Riley is the top Scottish player.
Lennon remarked, “O’Riley is a classic example.” “No one knew who O’Riley was.” After moving from MK Dons, he is currently arguably the top player in the nation after three years.

Holding upon O’Riley
Whoa, whoa, surprise. There is good news and bad news for the club as the transfer rumors surrounding the young Danish star are beginning to swirl.

On the one hand, he is doing a great job of drawing attention from England, particularly from Tottenham under Postecoglou.

Everyone understands that Celtic will receive a huge transfer fee if O’Riley leaves.

But, on the other, you want the powers that be at Parkhead to keep him at the club because it will continue the dominance on the domestic scene, as well as try and help the club progress in Europe.
